Beverley Bunn, a 44-year-old Texas woman who participated in the retreat, says the group spent days doing grueling physical and mental activities before entering the sweat tent, where people began passing out and vomiting.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Bunn says Ray "played god" in games the group played before going into the tent.

Bunn describes the tent as pitch black and when someone lifted the side of the tent to let in some fresh air, she says Ray called it a "sacrilegious act."
